After arriving in Sydney last Tues, spent 4 days there seeing the sights - Opera House, Botanics, Harbour Bridge etc then left on Sat morning to travel further up the East Coast to Surf Camp. Missed my buddies from Sydney, stayed in a party hostel, it was such a good laugh. Will maybe head back there for a catch up before I leave.

The bus to Surf Camp took 10 hours!! And the place was a dump!! We weren't actually surfing that day, had a BBQ and a few drinks and got up at 6 this morning to hit the waves! Im officially the worst surfer in Oz. After squeezing into a wetsuit (disgusting) we went to 'rip some waves' Had to practice how to lie on the surf board and paddle then jump up when the wave came and I nearly broke my thumb trying to do that and that was before I even got in the water!! Then it got worse, swallowed loads of sea water and nearly knocked myself unconcious when the board smacked me over the head. But Im still here and at least I can say i tried ha ha.

Left Surf Camp (thankfully) about half 10 then travelled a couple of hours to Byron Bay. This place is paradise. Just been lying on the beach for the last 3 hrs and I have a white bit on my wrist wahey!! Not sure what the plan is tonight with it being Sunday and the best club being shut but Im sure we'll think of something. Sharing a room with 3 people from Surf Camp who're really nice so its good to just chill out with them.

Thats about it for now, be back soon!!
